V-A NORMAN'S LAWYER STILL HUNTING DOCUMENTS

  The next battle in the criminal case of Vice-Admiral Mark Norman will be over redactions to memos written by senior government bureaucrats — especially a 60-page memo from Privy Council Clerk Michael Wernick to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau that has been entirely blacked out.
  Norman’s lawyer, Marie Henein, told an Ottawa court Thursday that the government redacted the memo claiming solicitor-client privilege, prompting the judge to point out that Wernick is not a lawyer.
  Most of the case so far has been consumed by a fight over disclosure of documents, and Norman’s lawyers have been focused recently on a circle of senior government officials including Wernick and Trudeau. Justice Department lawyers told the court on Thursday they have now provided the judge with about 7,000 documents for her to review, and have about 1,000 documents still to go.
